Hi there
I thought I would share some photos of the ewes and lambs we have had so far, just incase some people would like to know more about (or are just interested in seeing) the lesser known terminal sire breed called the Charmoise
Have had 12 ewes lamb since saturday so still slow going but I think we are speeding up now as we had 4 lamb today, things mostly going ok with us only seeing two lamb and the rest just popping out when we blink, had a mule ewe lamb slip her lamb last week
Pedigree Charmoise ewe lamb, lambed for the first time this morning on her first birthday! very good mum so far and loving her lamb, very nice chunky ram lamb, by a home bred ram lamb
Lovely pedigree ewe lamb to a first time shearling, 20 mins old here with a full belly, mum lay down and pushed and I watched the lamb wriggle around with sack still on and find the udder before mum got up!
A Charmoise lamb out of a texel/mule ewe, this is one of triplets, they all weighed between 5-5.2 kilo! so one huge weight the ewe was carrying
8 week old Charmoise ewe lamb
Hour old lamb with her mum
The ewes are being kept in the polytunnel for 24 hours and then going out in the fields, only problem with that is I cant get very good photos of them outside..... oh well!
Hope you like them
